I heard this song for the first time in YEARS the other day.
It made me think of Lureen.
Saw your picture on a poster in a cafe out in Phoenix;
Guess you're still the sweet heart of the rodeo.
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit,
In a one-horse trailer and a mobile home.
And she still asks about you all the time,
And I guess we never even cross your mind
But oh sometimes I think about you,
And the way you used to ride out,
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
With the sunlight on your hair.
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
But as for me, I've come to know.
Everything that glitters is not gold.
Well old Red he's getting older,
And last Saturday he stumbled.
But you know I just can't bear to let him go.
Little Casey, she's still growing,
And she's started asking questions,
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know.
Her birthday came and you never even called:
I guess we never cross your mind at all.
But oh sometimes I think about you,
And the way you used to ride out,
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
With the sunlight on your hair.
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
But as for me, I've come to know.
Everything that glitters is not gold.
Everybody said you'd make it big someday,
And I guess that we were only in your way,
But someday I'm sure your gonna know the cost.
'Cos for everything you win there's something lost.
But oh sometimes I think about you,
And the way you used to ride out,
In your rhinestones and your sequins,
With the sunlight on your hair.
And, oh, the crowd will always love you,
But as for me, I've come to know.
Everything that glitters is not gold.

Here's the lyrics to a song that just for some reason entered my mind.
We May Never Pass This Way Again by Seals and Crofts
Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don't see just where we're goin'.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you.
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend.
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.
We may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.

And here's another song I was thinking about the other day and then I heard it playing in some store I was in.
Only Love Can Break A Heart by Neil Young
When you were young
and on your own
How did it feel
to be alone?
I was always thinking
of games that I was playing.
Trying to make
the best of my time.
But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Someone should call him
and see if he can come out.
Try to lose
the down that he's found.
But only love
can break your heart
Try to be sure
right from the start
Yes only love
can break your heart
What if your world
should fall apart?
I have a friend
I've never seen
He hides his head
inside a dream
Yes, only love
can break your heart
Yes, only love
can break your heart

This CD, "Duets" by Reba McEntire, was in my CD player in the car. I actually had not listened to it in awhile although I used to listen to it all the time. This is a song that I never paid a lot of attention to. It seemed that I was hearing it for the first time when I paid attention to the words.
These Broken Hearts by Reba McEntire and Vince Gill
Baby, let's just say farewell
Baby, let's just both give in
No, it's not too hard to tell
The walls are closin' in
Oh, it's time to say goodbye
And put this in the past
Even though I know we tried
To save the best for last
I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
I don't know what's left to say
I don't know where we went wrong
When I watch you walk away
I'll miss you when you're gone
Baby, shed a tear for me
And I'll shed a tear for you
Oh, let's set this heartache free
And in time we'll make it through, well
I guess nothin' stays the same
Still the memories remain
We need all the sweet forgiveness we can find
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again
There's a sadness in the wind
Oh, I wish you well my friend
Only time will mend these broken hearts again

Here is another song I love:
As If by Sara Evans
Ooh yeah
I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine
Baby let me believe that you're perfect
At least for a little while
You don't have to tell me what you're thinkin'
You can keep all that to yourself
Baby we got such a good thing going
Don't show me that you're someone else
{Chorus}
Cause I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed I'm acting as if
We don't have to have that conversation
Baby don't ya think it's goin' fine
We don't need to send out invitations
To tell the world that you're mine
{Chorus}
Cause I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed I'm acting as if
As if your sweet kiss is never gonna fade away
And the way you look at me will never change
Cause I love the way you wear those worn out blue jeans,
Walkin' all around in the big sunshine
Cause I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
I'm acting as if
this blue sky's never gonna rain down on me
I'm telling myself
This true love's never gonna leave me lonely
Unless there's something I've missed
Unless there's something I've missed
I'm acting as if
Oooh yeah
Oh I'm acting as if
